COMBINED CHURN AND BUTTER-MOLD.

$PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,800, dated March 31, 1885.

Application filed June 5, 1584. (No model.)

10 enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specifica- This invention relates to churns; and it consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my machine, part in section. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the plug and mold-support, the said parts being in position. Fig. 3 is a side view, part in section, of same. Fig. 4 shows the mold. Fig. 5 is a side view of the churn having its body partly broken away; Fig. 6, a transverse section of my machine provided with modified form of plug and mold-support. Figs. 7 and 8 are detail views of modified form of support. Fig. 9 shows the form of guidemit the manipulation of the movable support presently described. Horizontal slots 1) are formed in the inner faces of the boards B below the bottom a of the body. The support I has lateral lugs or wings a, which are movable in the slots'b, so the support may be moved under the body A or out of the machine, as will be understood. The upper face of this support I is provided with a box or receptacle, 1, fitted to receive the plug J and the mold K,

5 which are placed therein side by side. A

clamping-screw, L, turns through a threaded opening in the bottom of the support, and is swiveled at its upper end to the under side of the plug J, so it may, as it is turned, move said plug up or down, according as it is revolved in one or the other direction. The plug, it will be seen, is adapted to the opening a in the churn-bottom, and may by the screw be adjusted up to close said opening or down clear thereof, as will be understood. In

order to hold the plug level, springs j may be inserted under its opposite ends, as shown in Fig. 3. It will be seen that the support may be moved in slots 1), so as to bring the plug or mold under the opening a to close the box or enable the molding of the butter, as will be understood. hen the mold is being filled,it is desirable to hold the support in position by clamping the plug up against the bottom of the body.

While I prefer to construct the support as shown in Figs. 2,3,and 4,it is manifest it might be modified and that the manner of holding the same in the desired position may be also varied. In Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 I illustrate such modifications, and will now describe them. The slots 12 are provided with wings I), which are formed vertically and intersect the slot I), which is formed approximately at right angles to slots 1), as most clearly shown in Fig. 9. A cross-bar, O, connects the lower edges of the end boards,B,midway the sides of the same. This cross-bar serves as a bearing for the set-screw D, which turns through it and is constructed on its lower end with a hand-crank, d, or in other suitable manner so it may be readily revolved. The support E is provided on one side with a plug, 6, fitted to the opening a, and on its opposite side with a depression or mold, e, which is so arranged as to rest directly under opening a in the inverted position of the support. Lugs or studs F are projected from the ends of the block and operate in the slots 1) b. By preference, I provide the support E with a handle,E,extended from one side, so it may be easily placed and removed in the operation of the device. It will be seen that, in the modification, I adjust the plug into the opening a by moving the support, and to such end I provide the vertical slots b,to permit and guide the upward movement of the lugs F F. It is preferred, how-- Ice ever, to use the support shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, because in such case either plug or mold may be adj usted under the opening withoutinverting the support, and the use of different sized or designed molds and the removal of a filled mold for an empty one is facilitated, as will be understood. The dasher is composed of radial arms G and horizontal arms H, and is journaled to revolve on ahorizontal axis,as shown, the horizontal arms moving close to the concave bottom of the body and over the opening a formed through same, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. These horizontal arms are formed on one side with a breaking or churning surface, h, which is inclined to the rear and inwardly from the line of churning motion, which is-as indicated by arrow in Fig. 6, and the opposite side, h, is formed to press the butter through opening at and into the mold placed under said opening when the dasher is revolved in an opposite direction from that indicated by the arrow. An opening in the end of the body permits the buttermilk to be discharged and is closed during the operation of churning by a suitable plug.

In operation,when the parts are in the positionshown in Figs. 5 and 6, the machine is in position for churning. When the churning is completed, the clamping-screw is turned down and the support is adjusted either by lateral movement or invert-ed, so as to bring the mold under the opening a. The dasher is now revolved in a direction opposite its churning motion, and the pressing surfaces press the butter into the mo1d,as will be readily understood.

Havingthus described my invention, what I clairn,anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, 18-- 1. The combination,with the body provided in its lower side with an opening, the support located'below said opening and provided with a plug fitted thereto, and a mold adapted to fit thereunder, and a dasher, the dasher being arranged in the body and adapted to churn the milk and to force the butter when formed through the opening in the body,all arranged and operating substantially as set forth.

2. The combination,with a churn-body provided in its lower side with an opening,of the support provided with a plug fitted to said opening and with amold adapted to fit thereunder, said support being adjustable, substantially as described, whereby either the mold or plug may be brought to register with the churn-opening, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination of the churn-body provided in its lower side with an opening, the end boards provided with horizontal guidegrooves, the support having lateral end lugs fitted to said grooves and provided with a plug and mold, as described, and the screw, substantially as set forth.

4. The combinationtof a churn-body having a dischargeopening, a support held under said opening and movable laterally, as described, a mold held movablyin said support, a plug arrangedin said support, and as'crew turned through the bottom of the vsupport and engaged with the plug, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination of the churn-body, the support, the plug held therein, the clampingscrew engaged with and operatingsaidplug, and leveling-springs arranged to bear on said plug, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence, of two witnesses.
